I’m not sure if he did this intentionally or not but it’s fitting of a Gorillaz post during this time. Their new album is less than a weak away and it should be awesome. I was a big fan of their last album, Demon Days and always considered it a far better album than their debut. Then again, I really enjoyed Danger Mouse’s production on it as well.
With that said, Gorillaz have defeated the system and were, somehow, able to get their album out there on their own terms. The album is set for a release next week, March 9th, and they were able to avoid a leak of the album entirely. NPR is proudly streaming the album for free and it can be heard in entirety by clicking here.
I’m only halfway through but it sounds especially great, so far. By the way, the “Orchestral Intro” is gorgeous and its segue into the funky bass and keyboard with a proper introduction from Snoop Dogg is fantastic. And the third song features music from The Lebanese National Orchestra for Oriental Arabic Music, nice! - Bryan
